Upper Division Hosts Community Service Assembly
Jo Ivester is featured speaker facilitator at special assembly for students.
Casady's Upper Division hosted a civil rights assembly featuring speaker facilitator Mrs. Jo Ivester. Mrs. Ivester spent two years of her childhood living in a trailer in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, where she was the only white student at her junior high. She finished high school in Florida before attending Reed College, MIT, and Stanford in preparation for a career in transportation and manufacturing. Following the birth of her fourth child, she became a teacher. She and her husband teach each January at MIT and travel extensively, splitting their time between Texas, Colorado, and Singapore. She addresses a wide range of audiences, from small book clubs to entire schools, using her personal stories as a means to make people more comfortable with those who are different from them with regard to race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identification.
